The Harry Potter series wouldn’t be the same without Hedwig. The owl is Harry’s faithful companion. She does more than deliver important letters and packages; she’s one of Harry’s best friends and gives her life to protect him. So Instagrammer drizaya honored the bird with a beautiful and unique tattoo. Hedwig is in flight, carrying a note and her memorable theme (which is played on a magical-sounding celeste) is unfurled above her. The tattoo artist even put the page number marking Hedwig’s sacrifice in The Deathly Hallows. Aww.

Do you have any geeky tattoos inspired by science, comics, books, etc.? Then show them off to me so I can include them in a future Inked Wednesday gallery. You can share them with me by leaving links to pics of your ink in the comments, tagging or mentioning me on Instagram (not direct messages though, please), or sending photos to me on Twitter. Also, you can email me at alratcliffe at yahoo dot com. Basically, you have almost every way possible to get in touch with me. Please be sure to let me know the name of the tattoo artist who added your ink and his or her shop because credit is neat.
